Only just started contracting som I'm still in the piles of debt stage, so (the way the missus is currently spending) about 5 minutes!
This time next year, I will only have my mortgage and my missus to wory about

About six months, but now debt free bar the mortgage and have spent lots on house renovations ( leaking roof, rotten windows etc ) that were desperately needed. Contracting for 3 years basically got me out of a deep hole, put a decent sum in the bank and got me to the point where I could afford to go permie again for a bit while work is short."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

In theory, we could live off the wife's salary (cutting out everything but rent, bills and food - probably selling/mothballing one car) indefinitely, but maintaining our current lifestyle we could last a year."See, you think I give a tulip.
